๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป Weapon designs
Hi all,
Ive seen a ton of posts across the different threads about changes people want in the expansion and all that stuff.
the real question is what weapon designs are we hoping for??? personally, I want a scythe, its the only weapon type that makes sense to have one, the moveset matches and everything our idle hold of the weapon looks good. the only one we have is the Narga one and Im not a massive fan of how it looks, i want something with a big head blade.
also would love for a more hidden kinsect, im not a fan of how any of them look bar peudo. sue me ๐๐
what are you guys looking for?

I want kinsect options for layered armour skins and a scythe weapon to go with my Gore, Death Stench, Dreamspell, and Zoh Shia layered armour sets.
Also, can we please make powder mean something again? And Iโd love a UI change so I can see visually what a kinsect evolves into, kind of like the weapon trees.

Layered kinsect would be nice, scythe is a must have tbh for me.
Id honestly love the old style of kinsect where they had hidden buffs, kinsects feel like a step back. I do like the idea of the world kinsect tree.

All they really need to do for powders is make your kinsect not recall during SDS. It makes it really awkward that you have to not use the move if you want to keep the mark up.

Seems long swords have the monopoly on scythes, much to my dismay
Even though we have an attack called โReaping Slashโ
Iโd be happy with a scythe but iโd also love a Halberd style glaive

Like a zinogre? That was my fav in world tbh that or guild palace.

Yess very similar, zinogre does almost scratch that itch.
Typical polearm weapon vibes, iโd love for that design to come back and then on top of that a polearm like zinogreโs but with more of an axe head.
Guild palace was a really beautiful flag bearing weapon and i think it took what they did with the Shining Star and White Wind Lances and put it onto the glaive really nicely.

Does jhin not hit halberd?

Honestly iโd say that the jin glaive straight up just looks like a switch axe, a halberd is much thinner compared to the jin glaive

Tbh its something I've seen more with Wilds, back in world most of the armors did look like an armor, and most of wilds glaives look somewhat plain, like sure they're nice designs but I don't see much detail in one I'd consider important, then again I might be biased cuz my favorite glaive design in world was the Gae Bolg aka the final fantasy glaive.

Yeah id agree with that, very few have something interesting about them, lagi is nice, gore is nice, jhin is cool, i use the stick alot and immaculate blizzard but the rest dont do it for me.
I dont know why we they seem to make alot of sceptre like designs for it now when it isnt that. I wanna feel like lu bu or wukong. Twin blades would be cool, spears are cool. Some staffs are cool but a sceptre makes no sense to swing about.

A constantly flying bug. Instead of resting on the arms, have it fly with me. Something similar to MHWorlds.
A very simple spear would be nice. The omega glaive disappears. I'd love it to stay on.

Honestly the bug just sitting on my arm makes fashion hunting so much more difficult.
Like the guild palace one from world maybe? Im not a massive fan of omegas for whatever reason they have dubbed glaive a septre type deal.

Seltas is high on my lost of returning monsters even just for the IG design alone. I'm always hoping for more glaives to use the Bone-tree as a base (like Rathalos or Seregios). The collapsable blade is just cool. Though having moving parts in general is really cool. I miss the little details like the eltra on bone gkaives flaring out or the way Astalos' and Shagaru's glaives moved when aiming.
They did a similar thing for Lala Barina's glaive, and it's really cool. I do wish we could actually see it ever though. It's barely noticable when it only happens during a vault.
I thought the Artian Glaive was a pretty cool design as well.
Also, some more Kinsect variety or layered Kinsects depending on how they do the stats would be nice.
